Dueling is barbaric and can often start blood feuds: a cycle of violence. It’s also a bad way to settle a dispute. The person best at shooting others has no correlation to how well their position was or whether the fault or insult should stand. Also killing for an insult is juvenile. There’s lots of other real reasons history outlawed it, as well.
By the end of dueling, people weren’t even shooting at each other. It’s braver to be shot at and the point of dueling is to appear brave. They would fire into the air as if they were saying “I’m so brave I’m not going to shoot at you”. It was dumb, so we stopped the charade.
make it sabers, like real fucking men
Yugi, you idiot. We’re not dueling with weapons. We are dueling with cards!
It’s listed that the duelers decide on choice of weapons.
My vote is spears.
Also why not allow any two parties to duel?

I think a refereed cage match is a good compromise
Sure, but I bet it’d make the system more entertaining.
One step closer to “Ow My Balls”
We already have the Jackass movies and show, so I’m afraid we’re already deeper into idiocracy than you realize.

No one seems to be doing that anymore…
That’s why the modern version should be smacking each other with giant dildos.
The duelers get to pick their weapons. Nothing in the rules says you can’t fight to the death with dildos.
